Beyond financial leadership, you will foster a culture of continuous improvement, championing equality, diversity, and inclusion to create a workplace where all staff feel valued and empowered.

We are seeking a candidate with an outstanding track record of success at or close to Board level in the NHS or wider public sectors. You will have the energy, focus and ambition to lead our financial strategy and be part of a high performing Executive team.
